Does this incident indicate that driving on the street is more difficult than on the track, as there are several obstacles and elements that could come in our way at any given point. Racing should only be done on a track, or in a controlled environment. In Lewis Hamilton's case, he was going slow and made very light contact with a stationary vehicle. He is human after all.
